Twenty years of year-round Antarctic oceanographic data

Imagine standing on the sea ice, In the middle of the Antarctic winter. It's well below freezing, and that's before you even consider the wind chill. It's dark and the sun has barely risen above the horizon that day.

A community-driven data management system for ocean carbon and acidification research

Data management plays an important role to bridge the gap between observations and subsequent research, as well as decision support. This is especially true for oceanographic research, where data from individual cruises often need to be compiled in order to understand regional and global processes.
